MCX gold falls sharply

Gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) witnessed a sharp decline on Thursday.

The price of gold fell by ₹1,499 per 10 grams, opening at ₹1,46,518 compared with the previous close of ₹1,48,017.

The fall followed weakness in international bullion markets, where gold prices slipped to their lowest level in more than six months.

Market participants are closely watching developments surrounding the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran. The situation has raised concerns over inflationary pressures and the possibility of interest rates remaining high for an extended period.

Higher interest rates tend to reduce the attractiveness of non-yielding assets such as gold, often affecting investor demand.

Silver prices also declined on the MCX, falling by more than ₹3,800 per kilogram during trading.

What affects gold prices?

Gold prices in India are influenced by several factors, including international bullion rates, movements in the US dollar, import duties and domestic taxes.

Demand from the jewellery sector, particularly during wedding and festive seasons, also plays an important role in determining prices in the local market.
